Four Week Chipping Programme: Week 3 - The Low Check Shot

The low check shot is a chip shot that we constantly see the tour professionals executing perfectly when out on the golf course, however, for many amateur golfers they are intimidated by the shot because it requires such an accurate strike to execute successfully.

Phil Akers, a senior teaching professional at the Belfry breaks down the fundamentals to successfully complete this shot with effective results.

The crucial aspect with this shot is to be confident with what you are trying to achieve, many golfers will not commit to the shot leading to very poor results. Akers believes that understanding the perfect angle of attack you need to successfully hit the shot low and spinny and to be confident with it will help you execute the desired result.
